Matco-norca mn-ftbu0604 Forged Steel Hex Bushing

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA mn-ftbu0604 is a forged steel threaded hex bushing designed to reduce pipe connections from a 1-1/4 inch female thread to a 3/4 inch male thread. Manufactured from forged steel for strength and durability, this bushing provides a reliable, pressure-rated transition between two different pipe sizes in threaded piping systems. It is a standard fitting used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in residential and commercial installations where a compact, hex-body reducer is required for inline pipe size changes.

This hex bushing is suited for use in threaded steel pipe systems found in water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. The hex body allows for wrench engagement during installation, ensuring a secure, leak-free makeup. Its compact form factor makes it well-suited for tight installations where space around the fitting is limited.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction for high strength and durability in demanding pipe systems
• Hex body design allows positive wrench grip for proper thread makeup
• 1-1/4 inch female thread to 3/4 inch male thread reduction in a single fitting
• Standard threaded ends compatible with NPT threaded pipe and fittings
• Compact bushing profile suitable for use in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use threaded hex bushing for use with NPT threaded steel pipe systems in plumbing and piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before beginning work. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads prior to makeup, and use a pipe wrench on the hex body to achieve proper engagement without over-torquing the fitting.
